I'd assume anything that caught fire would be dead now, what's the speedo?

I doubt it can be repaired, although your probably better emailing LRP directly to see if they can fix it!

Give CML a ring, they should give you the details of their repair man, although it looks fried. They may be able to do you a replacement for it.

That's the common way that most Mongoose ESC's blow. It's dead and since you are not the original owner will not be covered by the 120 warranty period even if it's that new which it probably isn't. You will have to get another ESC. A lot of us now use 1/10th sensored ESC's such as LRP SPX or SXX or even Tekin RS.

Carl is right in saying that a lot of micro racers use "full size" 1/10th speedo's now as they are more efficient and tend to cope with the power a lot better. You can normally pick one up on here or ebay for reasonable money. The LRP or Nosram units are excellent but have a look at one of the Speed Passion LPF speedo's, they are excellent value for money and will handle the hairy mongoose motor perfectly. |

it's not to say there was anything wrong with alec's system, but more due to the fact of buying anything (especially electronics) used - it's the risk one takes. |

As the club members will confirm, I won all rounds of qualifying and every final with this set up to gain maximum points for the series and the car never let me down. I can't possibly be to blame for any problems with the car/electronics after it's been sold for a second time. As Rocketrob says, it's a risk buying anything second hand, it can fail at any time. Personally, i've had speedo's/motors blow first time out and also units that have gone on for a couple of years without problems. I think this post should have been titled "Andy, can you help with my LRP Shark" as it was him that sold it to Craig |
